Ingraham, who also appears on Fox News, asked Trump about his rather nasty tweets targeted at Kelly.

She asked: “Are you going to keep retweeting these 'bimbo back in town' kind of comments?”

Trump replied: “No, I have much bigger things to think about, honestly.”

On Tuesday, Trump was teased by Matt Lauer on the Today show when the GOP candidate called in.

Lauer said: “It starts to sound a little bit, and Donald take this the right way, like you're a guy with a schoolyard crush. When we were in elementary school and junior high school, guys often say the meanest things about the girls they like the most. “

“Trust me, Matt, there is no crush. That I can tell you,” he said.

Regardless of the controversy, the latest national poll from Quinnipiac released this morning shows Trump clobbering the Republican field with 28 percent support among Republican voters.

His next closest competition is Ben Carson with 12 percent of the vote.
